From a former college DEI director: “This outpouring of antisemitic hatred is the direct result of DEI’s insistence that Jews are oppressors…When you stoke that kind of division and anger, you unleash fires you can’t control.”

I saw antisemitism on a weekly basis in my two years as a faculty DEI director ... In fact, I can safely say that toxic DEI ideology deliberately stokes hatred toward Israel and the Jewish people."

It reminds me of what happened to my great grandfather. The Chinese government confiscated land and properties from landowners like him in the 1950s. They lost everything overnight. State-sanctioned theft is a feature of totalitarianism, whether in China or Canada.
The Biden administration told U.S. citizens in Ukraine that "You're on your own" & don't expect a rescue. I used to believe U.S. citizens have the best protection in the world because the government of the most powerful nation would never abandon them. Boy, was I wrong.
No words can do justice to the atrocity that was the police response that day in Uvalde. But I tried. It seems like such an appallingly rich metaphor for our civilization now: we are watching things fall apart, but elites with authority do nothing.
"The war in Ukraine has depleted American stocks of some types of ammunition and the Pentagon has been slow to replenish its arsenal, sparking concerns among U.S. officials that American military readiness could be jeopardized by the shortage." Is it incompetent or intentional?
